Moving time for School of Law The school is relocating to the new William W. Knight Law Center By Teri Meeuwsen Oregon Daily Emerald Boxes of books, truck-loads of furniture and a new sense of home are moving into the new William W. Knight Law Center while finishing touches are put on the $24 million building. Professors and administrators have been packing up the School of Law in Grayson Hall and have already moved 600 to 700 boxes to their new address — 15th Av enue and Agate Street. “The faculty are in charge of packing their own offices and la beling their boxes,” said Jane Gor don, associate dean of the law school. Law professor Jim Mooney said the move is a little hectic, but ex citing. “The building is kind of a shambles because everyone’s putting things into boxes,” he said. “But we’re all really excited to be in a new building.” The big move will last until Sunday, Gordon said. “We hope to be open for busi ness by 8 a.m. Monday morning,” she said. Provided that new furniture gets to the law center in time, both summer classes and a review for the Bar Exam will also begin on Monday, she said. In the mean time, woodwork and other detail work will be finished up around the new inhabitants. “We’ve made a deal that we would stay out of each other’s way,” Gordon said. The move, originally budgeted for $100,000, will only cost an es timated $40,000 to $60,000, Gor don said. The new building has about 50 _ ... .

It also houses The Commons, a central place where students, faculty and staff can meet, she said. In 1996, Phil Knight, Nike CEO and University alumnus, gave the University $25 million. A portion of the gift was used to build the new law center in honor of his fa ther, William W. Knight. About two years ago, the Uni versity sold back some state bonds to raise $10,3 million and more than $14 million was raised through private funding. After the School of Law moves into the new building, Grayson Hall will undergo a $4 million renovation and be used by Uni versity Computing, the Depart ment of History, the Ethnic Stud ies Program, the Social Science Instructional Laboratory and the Oregon Survey Research Labora tory. “The main focus of the project is creation of high quality, flexible teaching space,” said Fred Tepfer, planning associate for the Office of University Planning. The existing lecture halls and classrooms will be upgraded with better equipment, better lighting and improved acoustics, he said. Two new 120-seat classrooms will be added and ten smaller classrooms will accompany them. In addition, the project will build two new computer classrooms. The total classroom capacity will be about 1,400 stations. The project also includes new accessible entrances, more attrac tive approaches, improved bicy cle parking, and many other fea tures, Tepfer said. Half of the construction fund ing is from gifts and other non state funds. The other half is funded by the State of Oregon, he said. ft 0066121 Internship Opportunity! • Gain Experience In A PAC-10 Athletic Department • Earn Upper Division Credits • Improve Your Leadership, Communication and Personal Skills Applications are available at the front desk of the Casanova Center.
